Argentinian activist Celeste Lepratti passed away

Argentinian activist Celeste Lepratti, who fought for human rights and justice in her country and actively supported the struggle of the Kurdish people, passed away due to a serious illness.

Celeste Lepratti, a human rights activist and a member of the Committee of Solidarity with the Argentine Kurdistan Women's Movement, died at the age of 45 as a result of a serious illness.

Celeste Lepratti was the sister of Claudio "Pocho" Lepratti, who was among the 38 activists killed as a result of police raids in the popular uprising for social rights and freedoms in Argentina in December 2001.

Celeste Lepratti, who has been raising the flag of struggle against institutional violence since the "Black December", in which 38 people lost their lives on 19-20 December 2001, has never stopped fighting for human rights and justice.

She took part in efforts to find the stolen babies with the Plaza de Mayo Mothers. Celeste Lepratti, who has been following the Kurdistan Women's Movement closely since 2016, has been on the Solidarity Committee with the Kurdistan Women's Movement since February 2022.

After the attacks that started in South Kurdistan in April, she took an active part in actions and activities against the war in Kurdistan from her city.

Celeste Lepratti, who was one of the callers of the campaign against the use of chemical weapons, which was launched in Argentina last November, played the role of a bridge between the peoples when she participated in the just struggle of the people of Kurdistan.
